It's no big deal anymore, but I will tell you.

When I first encountered the original game of the Five Nights at Freddy's series, I caught a cold, but I just went and kept watching the Let's Play (at that point in time, I didn't own the game, yet). At first, I thought that the animatronics were simply adorable, but when I found out more about the series, it just gave me nightmares.

It was really unusual for me to be afraid of a horror game or its characters. I usually thought that everything related to the horror genre was rather boring. Whenever I played a horror game or watched a horror movie, it didn't matter. FNAF was actually the first horror game series that managed to scare me, but not the first game to scare me.

When I was about 3 years old, my dad and I were playing Duke Nukem 3D. I thought that the pig monsters were really scary and had nightmares about them. Now things were the same again, just now it were Bonnie and Freddy instead of the pig monsters.

Oddly, I overcame my fear of the animatronics, but the pig monsters from the old DN3D still scare me whenever I play the game in the dark.
